Let the refs settle this.

Graves isn’t the man. Limit his shots.

AJ!

When it rains it pours department: Jordan hits the foul shot - it’s invalidated because of (another!) lane violation. Jordan is charged with a missed foul shot. LOL

Another lane violation! WTF?

Bulls have 24-12 edge in rebounds

Keep it ugly. The uglier the better. Just beat these poseurs.

What a sloppy game so far. Both teams look like shit.

Good points. Would add relatively poor and wildly inconsistent 3 point shooting.

They are red hot from 3. Bulls will have to get in their faces without picking up cheap fouls. If they can do that, they have a chance.

I still think that the Bulls can win any game left on their schedule. That said, they could lose any game too. The players haven’t quit, and I don’t expect that they will no matter how the rest of the season goes. I have faith in Whitesell, but see the Bulls finishing close to the middle of the pack in conference play. What would be great would be to knock off either Kent or Akron in the tournament. Keep battling. Go Bulls!

Lunardi must be losing it. He’s got 2 teams from the Atlantic Sun in: Liberty and North Florida. He’s got 2 in from the MVC: N Iowa and Loyola Chicago. OK, the ACC is down, but how about giving the A10 a second team instead of this travesty???

Johnson and Mballa had subpar games too, at least on offense. Why Whitesell had Grant in at the end instead is a head scratcher. Why Williams wasn’t in also interesting. Jordan, Graves, Grant, Segu, and Hardnett...is that who were in for the last 7 or so minutes? Grant grabbed an offensive rebound that I recall. Segu hit a 3 after missing one in the same set. Jordan hit a 3 from the corner to tie it at 64. Johnson’s game just seemed to disappear in this game. Mballa had a poor game statistically and made bad decisions several times. Grant hit one 3 and then reverted to Grant. Graves just didn’t get it done at all.

I thought that Jordan had a pretty good game. Kenpom gives him the highest offensive rating amongst the Bulls with significant minutes in this game. He had 6 assists vs 2 TOS, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, and shot 3 of 6 from two and 2 of 5 from three. He is a poor free throw shooter. Once again the Bulls had an uninspiring first half. If anything that and 2 banked three pointers led to their demise. Is Graves still sick? He had another subpar game. I’ll say this: the Bulls never quit, and, except for a few times where Mballa tried to go coast to coast (and promptly turned it over), they were unselfish - sometimes too unselfish. It seemed as though there were 4 or 5 times when a Bull was under the basket with only one defender but instead of going for the shot, the ball was passed out for someone else to shoot. Unfortunately the Bulls are not a particularly good 3 point shooting team. On to Akron. It should be another close game.

Nice win. Good job on the glass and great defense to close it out. One more thing: MAN, WAS I FLAT OUT WRONG ABOUT ANTWAIN JOHNSON!

Nwora had a nice piece written about him in the Buffalo News on Sunday. It mentioned that he currently is viewed as a late first rounder in the NBA draft. His game looks too slow to me - another Eric Eberz or Adam Morrison. Time will tell.

Off topic - watching Duke vs Louville. Nwora a no show, after a no show vs Kentucky. Over-rated.

The latest edition has the B10 getting 11 teams in. Nebraska and Northwestern are out. And so is Minnesota...except Lunardi has them included in his “Last 4 in” category. Must be nice...Just noticed that Virginia, VCU, and Xavier are listed in the “First 4 out” category - and yet he’s got them as 11 and 12 seeds. Bottom line: Just win, baby.

That was an impressive win!

Bulls bossing the boards and taking care of the ball. Nice balance...very encouraging. Go Bulls!

Great games by Johnson and Williams. Ohio had no answer for Williams in the second half. It seemed like he scored at least 10 straight points for the Bulls. Last game’s stars, Graves and Segu, were sub par today. Good team win.

Looking for the Bulls to warm up a bit in the second half. If I were Bols. I would play a ton of zone i and make the Bulls beat me with outside shots. Go Bulls.

I’ve got no dog in this fight. But the screen name “Bull-in-Exile” is suggestive of a persona reluctant of any association with the trappings of the mundane. We have two diametrically opposing forces that are a souce of tension: Should I stay or should I go, if you will. The only possible antidote would be a flawless Bulls’ season from here on out. Go Bulls!

No kid is worthless. I want to see Nickleberry because he’s got another year here. It’s hard to believe that the roster that so recently was touted as the most athletically gifted MAC team, is now viewed as a squad of duds.

So far this season Johnson has had an eFG% greater than 50% in 3 games: Harvard, William & Mary, and Army. His eFG% this year is 36.8%....He shot 37.9% from 3 two seasons ago! At some point it makes sense to give Segu more minutes - he has an eFG% of 50%. To me it’s a no brainer. If Will Regan can come off the bench for the good of the team, so can Antwain Johnson.
